Bandwidth Solves Local SMS Messaging Dilemma at Massive Scale with Local A2P Launch

RALEIGH, N.C., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprise-grade CPaaS company Bandwidth today announced the release of its Local A2P Messaging solution, a first-of-its-kind API that allows businesses to send sanctioned high-volume, burst SMS messaging using local phone numbers over newly created 10DLC (ten digit long code) SMS routes. For businesses that rely on locality, such as large chains with many local branches, this need had been previously unmet by standard market offerings. Prior to this release, businesses had to resort to other methods such as short codes or toll-free numbers for higher volume or application-to-person (A2P) SMS needs, neither of which could be easily associated with an individual, local business.
